ELEVATED CARRIER.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, PETER H. IBLINGs and HER MAN E. IBLINGs, citizensof the United States of Amen ica, and residents of Parkersburg, Butlercounty, Iowa, and Waterloo, Blackhawk county, Iowa, respectively, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Elevated Carriers, ofwhich the following is a specification.

Our invention relates to elevated carriers, and the object of ourinvention is to provide a tiltable wheeled 4 carrier to be conveyed overan elevated track within a stable to a swinging crane outside, for thepurpose of carrying out and dumping litter outside of the building. Thisobject we have accomplished by the means which are hereinafter describedand claimed, and which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, inwhich Figure 1 is a side elevation of the dumping crane with suspendedcarrier, Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the suspended tiltable carrier,showing its switch-rail, and Fig. 3 is an end elevation of the same, thetwo latter figures being drawn upon a larger scale than the former.

Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

\Vithin a building, such as is shown'in Fig. 1, is suspended on fixedhangers Z an elevated runway a, having an upper horizontal flangedmember z to serve as a bearing surface or track for the wheels of themovable carrier k.

A short switch member I), capable of being removably connected to theoutside or delivery end of the fixed suspended runway a is provided, toserve as an intermediate means of support for the carrier carriage e,between it and the extremity p of the swinging crane nu. Thisswitch-member is formed of a section of angle iron of the samedimensions as the runway az, and is provided with hooks g whereby it maybe suspended from the drop-plate on the crane sleeve p. The inner end ofthe said switch member has a hood (Z to receive the extension-plate c onthe delivery end of the runway a, to keep the said switch-member andrunway in proper alinement when in contact.

The carriage is composed of a base plate having oppositely placeduprights c, said base-plate having also depending hangers j in whoselower ends are pivoted the stub-axles t of the litter box 1;.

Inwardly directed rollers m are rotatably mounted on studs f in theupper portions of the uprights e, arranged so as to roll over the uppersurface of the flange member of the suspended runway. In order toprevent the said carriage from passing off from the switch runway b whenplaced thereon, we have provided a catch h on said carriage being a bentresilient plate having one end attached to the upper surface of theouter end of the base-plate, and having its inner end Specification ofLetters Patent.

free and raised a suitable distance above said baseplate to engage thelower end of the downwardly projecting member of the hook y. The innerend of said catch h is downwardly bent slightly to easily pass undersaid hood-end, and has a perforation to receive said hook-end. Torelease said catch it, we have provided a finger-hold bar 1', linkedinto a perforation s in the inner end of said catch-bar. The resiliencyof the catch-bar h will keep it in engagement with the hookend 9, untilit is depressed through the action of the finger-hold bar 5.

The crane is composed of a swinging lever 1L, pivoted on a bolt 96 inthe flange of a supporting plate i) attached to the outer side of thebuilding. The sleeve p of said crane is suspended on a rod n whose upperend is hooked to a staple set in the upper part of the outside wall ofthe building.

When the box I; has been filled with litter within the building, itscarriage may be conveyed along the runway a to and upon the switchmember I), the latter being held in contact with said runway a by meansof the swing-hook r on the sleeve p hooked over a nail g on the doorcasing. As the carriage passes upon the switch-member 1), its catch hcontacts with the lower end of the hook-end g, said hook-end slippinginto and locking the catch in the position shown in Fig. 2. The hook rbeing then released from the nail y, the switchmember I) may be detachedfrom the runway a, and the crane u with its suspended carriage thenswung outward to the desired location for the deposition of the contentsof the tiltable box Having described our invention, what we claim asnew, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A device of the character described, comprising in combination afixed suspended rail having a pointed delivery end, a movable railsection having :it one end a shoe adapted to engage the pointed end ofthe fixed rail, :1 trolley-carriage adapted to move over and upon saidrails. a tiltable receptacle suspended from said carriage, a crane, anddetachable means for removably securing said carriage to said movablerail section.

2. A device of-the character described, combination a fixed suspendedrail having :1 pointed delivery end, a movable rail section having atone'end a shoe adapted to receive the pointed end of said fixed rail, atrolley-carriage adapted to move over and upon said rails. 11 tiltablereceptacle suspended from said carriage, a swingcrane, detachable meansfor removnbly securing said carriage to said movable rail section, anddetachable means for securing said crane in one position to hold saidfixed rail point and movable rail shoe in engagement.
